YUM! From experience, I can attest that drinking with friends remotely is a lot more relaxed than a night out at a crowded bar— not to mention healthier for both your wallet and the general public at large.Just because we can’t go out doesn’t mean we need to feel isolated.We’re all going to give up on certain things we’re used to if we’re to pull through this together, but that doesn’t mean giving up on your social life.

Great job Donna, thanks!Thanks for making us sound so good, Donna! Thanks.So many of my 'tweeps' are included in your potluck - it's been fun to see all of the different posts and recipes.Yuri, I'm not cooking anything for this potluck - I brought plates, knives, and forks :-) Tough job, but someone's got to do it.I've had dinner but all of these posts look and sound so scrumptious!Great post, Donna. If it was, pls put my name right there! Why?

The concept of a potluck party means that each guest will contribute a dish, tableware, or drinks, but that's not an option during the coronavirus pandemic. Create a customized online sign up sheet that makes it easy to plan a group meal. Let's showcase our local culinary talent through three virtual courses. Seriously, love this concept! I'm very excited to have found you.I love cookbooks...the Delicious Memories , recipes and stories of The Chef Boyardee family really sounds like it would be a great one!!

I love your recipes....and will become a regular follower! From there, all you have to do is set up in an appropriate spot and enjoy some tech-assisted time together. Great recipes and great food!What a cool group you have formed! I wake up on Monday and think about it on my morning commute. #Virtualpotluck was a ton of fun! Such a fun idea, this virtual potluck!I love to hear from you!

I am glad to have been chosen to participate in the 2020 Black History Virtual Potluck. I want to enter them all!I really enjoyed reading through the blogs, so many new and fun recipes to try and neat people to get introduced to. If that doesn’t work, syncing a shared streaming playlist on your phones is super easy. did everyone bring mac and cheese? Happy Virtual Potluck Debut Day!I really love the tone of this post. Our city is full of inspiration, talent, and taste. It's not easy writing about something you didn't make, but you've done a pretty good job "selling" each one. This new state of affairs certainly isn’t a welcome change, at least judging by the frustrating number of people who packed into bars on the weekend before St. Patrick’s Day.If cooking isn’t your thing, turn it into a de facto night out at a restaurant by ordering delivery from a local favorite that’ll definitely appreciate the business. Thanks DonnaThese look and sound so delicious! Thanks to screen/audio sharing (at least in Zoom), you can all put on the same playlist or movie and enjoy a night out from the comfort of your couch. If they aren’t, try to gently but firmly encourage them to stay in for the good of their community if they’re at all able to, and use this as a way to remind them that they don’t have to become a total hermit.But just because we’re social distancing doesn’t mean we need to cut ourselves off from friends and loved ones. I wish I had seen this earlier, some of the giveaways are closing now and these are amazing cookbooks!Wonderful write up about a wonderful group. And, if you like, leave me a comment. Wish this was a real dinner I could sign up for. I love how you rounded up everyone's posts. It is an honor to share my recipe alongside AMAZING Black Food Bloggers who I admire and follow. That’s where the concept of the video conference dinner party comes in, the best way to go out while staying in.

WIth the right technology, good food, and great company, we can all enjoy a little time together even in a moment like this. States and cities around the country have begun shutting down bars, restaurants (for all but takeout and delivery), and most other places where people like to meet up and socialize. Break out your best recipe -- it’s time for a potluck! I am very honored to be a part of the Virtual Potluck gang!Food Hunters Guide sent me!
